GHS principal Houston takes on new role in District 205
GALESBURG — Galesburg High School Principal Jeff Houston is moving to a new role in the school district.
Houston, who currently oversees the Galesburg Area Vocational Center along with the high school, was hired Monday as a full-time director of GAVC.
“The district is thrilled to have someone as passionate about vocational education as Jeff Houston," said Superintendent John Asplund. "We feel the district’s investment in the GAVC facility needs a full-time director for the near future to be able to recruit students from all over the region."
Houston has worked for the district for more than 22 years, first as an at-risk coordinator and then as a driver’s education teacher, physical education teacher and coach. He was the director of GAVC in 2016 when hired as GHS principal.
